Since the card scored a frame or two more than any reference card would we decide
to overclock it a bit. We scored some nice scores. It can probably go even more
but we stopped at 730 MHz core and 2220 MHz memory. This surpasses every
overclocked card on the market including the EVGA Superclocked card. Now we got
some interesting scores. During the overclocking the card temperature didn’t exceeded
62 degrees Celsius while at the default speed it worked at 52 to 53 Degrees Celsius.

Non overclocked card does not heat much more during the
extensive game play it only reached 55 Degrees Celsius.

We won't comment much EVGA's non overclocking scores. They are
exactly the same or at least almost identical to any other Nvidia reference
card. But once we overclocked the card we got some difference.The card almost reached 19000 in 3Dmark03 and this is a
great score. This is almost 1500 from the default score.

In 3Dmark05 we scored
about 1000 more with the overclocked card. This overclock is just enough to
touch the 6000 marks in 3DMark06 test and it scores only 37 points less.
